WASHINGTON LETTER
WAsnISGroN, d. c., April 80, 1897.
Trom Our Regular corrsspoaden,)

(From Our Regular Corr.spoaden,)
What the President is reported t.
have said to Western Senate (Nr.
Vest, of Missouri), has been the chief
topic of conversation here for the
past two days, and has for the mo-
ment fixed public attention on the
question of denomination and re-
election in 1883. Whatever the
President may have said to the Sen,
ator from Missouri, whether he said
anything or not, what Mr.. Vest said
on the .ubject and what either of
them meant or intended by their al
legged utterances will continue to be
a source of comment and discussion
until the nomination of 'SS isa thing
of the past.
1t was a dull time and the publi-
cation that the President would not
accept a denomination was startling,
and naturally produced slight SEN
sation, or at least subject Of com
mon talk. Every body had some
thing TO say about it, but every body
with experience enough to know how
these things are done, aud to be able
to distinguish between the probable
and the impossible, said practically
what Senator Vest and Col. Lamont
have since stated, namely, that they
do not believe that Mr.. Cleveland
is working for SECOND term, or that
he has any great desire for one but
that he will probably wait until he
is asked before he either accepts or
declines, and that the time for dis
cussing the matter has not yet arriv.
ed.
Senator Vests explanation Of the
matter is that he was not correctly
quoted, bu, he thinks this great ne ws.
paper oak must have sprung from
little acorn which he dropped in con-
versation with some friends at Cham
berlains few days ago. These
friends were opposed to Mr.. Cleve-
land and declared that he was work
ing for a denomination, while they
mentioned several acts of his as
proof of the accusation. Mr.. Vest
remembers that he demurred very
positively, and replied that he knew
that President Cleveland did not
want a second term, that he was
working for the purpose of leaving
the Government in such a shape that
any good Democrat could he elected.
He thinks too, that he added, by way !
II strengthening his authority, that
he President told him 80 himself.

Public attention is now concen-
trating upon the National Drill which
takes place here next month. For
tunately the city will be out in all
her verual glory In the month of
May. The foliage Of 10000 trees
will shade her long, broad oocl
streets. The parks, circles, tirsngles
and other open spaces will be in full
bloom of flowers and varigated
shrubbery. No city in America oaE
@ rmpare with Washington and its
surroundings in the month of May,
and il is then that its architectural
grandure is seen to the best advan-
tage. The city presents the spec
tacle of magnificent National Park
iniersperced with vast public build
ings, monuments, statuary and hand
some private residences, all border
ed by the placid Potomac.
And Washington is to be merry
in other ways during the month of
flowers, as the following calendar of
events will show. The races will
take place in May; Patti will sing in
May, Forepaugh's circus will come I;
the National Association Of Hotel
Proprietors will meet here. The re-
union Of the Army of the Cumber-
land and the nnveillng OF the Gar

reported dead last Summer; this re-
port, as then stated. was based upon
the authority U. Mr.. Y. llollowell,
who assured us most positively that
our friend Hal was dead. Now, we
are astonished, dumfounded! can it
be that the spirits of our departed
friends are permitted to conmuni-
cate with the living through the me-
dium of the press as well as through
the usual cabineted mediums? Hal
always was full of tricks, and It may
be that the habits of life remain
strong even in death. Yes, Hal,

awarded the contract, by reason of
his being the lowest bid, has done a
pretty fair job, and in good time.
He has not made fortune, It's true !;
but he has been enabled to give en-
ployment to several worthy laoormg
men at fair wages, earned fair me-
chanics wages for himself, besides
realizing handsome profit on the
contract, Those shrewed master
mechanics who professed to know
all about such n job, and who thought
they saw a fine opportunity to gouge,
no doubt, now feel like kicking them
selves for not really knowing what
an easy job they might have secured,

SYSTEM IN FARMING.


Khe Importance of True Economy in Ag.
ricultural Occupations.
There is no trade or occupation in
life which true economy is rs import
ant as in farming BY economy we do
not mean stinginess rdenying ones
self the common comforts of life. The
farmer who practices it can not expect
to command the esteem and respect OF
his fcllow-men, nor retain it himself.
Nor is it necessary in this connection
to admonish farmers of the Importance
and necessity of saving what they
make, and of turning into ready cash
all kinds of products not needed on the
farm. But it is the little economies to
which we would now more particularly
direct the attention of farmers.
In the first place, the economical
farmer, is necessarily neat farmer
He can not afford to allow weeds and.
briers to grow up in his fence corners
to rob the soil of its fertility and rot
his fences. He can not afford to allow
his gates and farm implements to go to
rack for the want of little repair; his
farm buildings to do the same for the
want of n little seeing to, we'll knowing
that much of the value of his property
depends upon its appearance.
Take any two farms of the same
number of acres lying in the same
ncighborhood, and composed of the
same character of land, the one with
its fencing (were it not for the briers
and weeds that support iD about to
tumble down, its fields inconvcnicntly
located, its buildings in state of di-
lapidation without any approach or
lawn to give an air of comfort to the
premises, and the other with all these
improvements plainly in view, and the
differences in the market value of the
two will be from twenty to thirty per
cent. in favor of the latter, simply on
account of its neatncss. Another es-
sential point in economical farming is
system. In no business is it more nee
essary to success. Haphazard farm
ing may, it is true, earn a living, such
rs it is, for the time being, but can
never lay up any thing for "ralny
day" The methodical man, however,
always knows his business, and can SO
arrange it as to accomplish what he
has to do with much less Inconvenience,
expense or labor than he who farms
it in desultory, slipshod manner.
There must be system in doing every
thing pertaining to the farm; system
in doing every thing in time; system
in having place for every thing, and
every thing in its place; system in moi
putting off any thing until Tomorrow
that can de done to-day; system in
planning. in working, in grain.erow,
ing. in stock-breeding and feedinsi in
short system In every thipg-Ba'M
mere SIM
